* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Sam and Katherine's romance ends badly, in large part because interracial romances weren't looked on too kindly in the nineteenth century. Meanwhile, the ''other'' backstory also takes place in the nineteenth century--albeit in Latvia, not the United States--and has [[OldManMarryingAChild fourteen-year-old Myra Menke ultimately marrying fifty-seven-year-old Igor Barkov]].

Added DiffLines:

** A majority of lines that were internal monologues or simply narration in the book are converted into character dialogue in the film, such as when Stanley makes his first shoveling in the book and thinks to himself "One down, a million to go." In the film, the line is given to Mr. Sir who mockingly says it while walking away.

Added DiffLines:

* OnceMoreWithClarity: The first shot we see of the sneakers falling on Stanley's head merely shows them seemingly appearing out of the sky as if by magic, and aside from bridge pylons in the background, it's never obvious where exactly they came from. It's only after Zero explains to Stanley what happened that it becomes clear he was walking under an overpass at the time they were thrown.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Bookends}}: While not explicitly at the end of the film, the Yelnants family curse arc is wrapped up by reversing the shot of the stolen pair of shoes that were seen falling on Stanley at the beginning, indicating that his bad fortune has finally left him.

* BigBad: The Warden.
** Her grandfather Trout Walker might be considered the GreaterScopeVillain, since although he's long-since died, it's his actions many years ago that both created the situation and plot of the story ''and'' made the Warden who she is (she is, after all, essentially driven to fulfill the goal he started).
